Having just been defending Norton elsewhere, my confidence was dented when, in reply to my defence, I was given these two links about an alleged major issue with all Norton products last July:
http://fortune.com/2016/06/29/symantec-norton-vulnerability/
https://isc.sans.edu/diary/Critical+Symantec+Endpoint+Protection+Vulnerability/21209
This sentence in the second link has confused me: "You will need to update the actual Symantec product, which is different from performing a signature update (the signature update happens automatically)".
I have no doubt that Norton will have quickly dealt with the problems but as I don't remember any publicity here (and I have searched) I've no idea which way I updated my products. Need I check anything? Was the Identity Safe affected?
